In this raw and resonant field recording, Linda and Pudge spiral through the emotional terrain of fatherhood, custody battles, and the sovereign disconnect between daughters and mothers. Pudge shares his fight to protect his eleven-year-old daughter from what he sees as inappropriate choices made by her grandmother—belly shirts and spandex that clash with his sense of timing and care. The conversation expands into the broken geometry of family court, where Pudge, despite signing birth certificates and raising children from birth, is denied legal rights because he’s not the biological father.

Linda holds the relational field, naming the injustice and honoring Pudge’s sober spiral—four months clean, fighting for his kids, and raising children others discarded. Together, they riff on the imbalance of power between mothers and fathers, the myth of parental equality, and the sovereign grief of being sidelined by a system that doesn’t recognize emotional timing or lived commitment.

- Fatherhood without recognition  

- Court system distortions  

- Emotional timing vs legal definitions  

- Segmental parenting and sovereign care  

- Belly shirts, spandex, and generational tension

Prisoncast: Raw voice from the Inside.

Dive into the unfiltered heart of incarceration with Prisoncast—a gripping podcast capturing real-time phone calls between bars and miles. Each episode peels back the layers of prison life: the frantic commissary hustles, "rained on" lockdowns that kill the vibe mid-sentence, sleepy confessions of "boring as fuck" safety, and those gut-punch "I love you"s that echo louder than any lockdown alarm. From Thanksgiving turkey gripes to pleas for extra bucks on the books, we turn collect-call chaos into stories of resilience, humor, and unbreakable bonds. No scripts, no filters—just the messy, human side of doing time and holding on from the outside. Tune in for laughs that sting, tears that heal, and reminders that family doesn't fade behind walls.

Opioid Alibi is a surreal ride through music, memory, and the emotional wreckage of lockdown. Steven’s original track sets the tone, weaving through a raw conversation about COVID’s hidden toll—abuse, addiction, depression, and the heartbreak of isolation. From underground parties to political conspiracies, from opioid loss to family grief, this episode doesn’t hold back. It’s part spoken-word, part testimony, part electric dream.

She’s in the hospital bed. He’s at the foot. Outside, the hills don’t care. This clip is —truth, pain, frustration, loyalty, and not knowing. Poor families holding tight through tough times and tougher people. No polish. No politics. Just real life. The kind you don’t fake. Clip from Hillbilly Eulogy.

A mythic riff from Prison Cast: ex-military roommate meets Sydney, the son with the sweet laugh and sharp instincts. A phone call spirals into a field of respect, warning, and maternal firepower. “Don’t mess with my mom—she’ll shoot you.” A 105-pound sovereign force, no bullshit, all presence. Laced with humor, heat, and field attunement. Prison Cast out.
